🐴Horse Bandaging🐴 - Part 3 of a 3 parts series.

1st video Hoof Bandaging
2nd video Hock Bandaging
3rd video Tendon Bandaging

To bandage a horse’s tendon using Value Plus products, you’ll want to focus on providing support, reducing swelling, and protecting against re-injury.

Materials Needed

1. Antiseptic Spray or Cream: To clean any wounds or abrasions.
2. Non-Adherent Pad (optional): Use if there is an open wound to protect it from sticking.
3. Cotton Padding: Provides a soft, cushioning layer around the tendon.
4. Elastic Wrap or Bandage Roll: Adds support and helps keep the padding in place.
5. Value Plus Vet Wrap: Secures the bandage, providing additional compression and support.
6. Elastic Adhesive Tape (optional): For securing the ends of the bandage.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Clean the Area: If the horse has any open wounds or abrasions, start by cleaning the area with an antiseptic spray or cream.
2. Apply Non-Adherent Pad (If Needed): If there’s an open wound, place a non-stick pad over it to prevent it from sticking to the bandage.
3. Apply Cotton Padding: Wrap a layer of cotton padding around the tendon area to provide cushioning. Start just below the knee and wrap downward towards the fetlock, overlapping each layer slightly. This padding layer helps distribute pressure evenly, avoiding pressure points.
4. Apply Elastic Wrap: Over the cotton padding, apply an elastic wrap, starting just below the knee and moving downward. Keep the wrap smooth and snug but not tight. This layer should add gentle support and compression to the tendon area.
5. Secure with Value Plus Vet Wrap: Use Value Plus Vet Wrap to secure the entire bandage. In a spiral or figure-eight pattern, overlapping each wrap slightly. Vet Wrap is self-adhesive, so it will stay in place without slipping, but be careful not to pull too tightly, as it can restrict circulation.
6. Add Adhesive Tape (Optional): For extra security, add a layer of adhesive tape at the top and bottom of the wrap. This can help prevent the bandage from sliding down, especially if the horse is moving around.
7. Check for Proper Fit: Ensure the bandage is snug but not overly tight. You should be able to fit a finger between the bandage and the leg to ensure there’s no restriction on blood flow.

Additional Tips

• Monitor Regularly: Check the bandage every few hours to ensure it hasn’t shifted and isn’t causing discomfort.
• Change as Needed: If the horse is turned out or in a dusty environment, replace the bandage daily. For active healing, change it according to your veterinarian’s advice.

By using Value Plus Vet Wrap, you’re providing flexible support that will allow some movement while keeping the bandage securely in place.

1st video Hoof Bandaging.
2nd video Hock Bandaging.
3rd video Tendon Bandaging.
Bandaging a hock using Value Plus products, you'll need to follow a careful approach to ensure proper support, protection, and healing. Here's a general step-by-step guide for hock bandaging using common bandaging techniques and Value Plus products, which are often used in equine care.

Materials Needed
1. Antiseptic Spray or Cream: To clean the area before bandaging (if needed).
2. Non-Adherent Pad (if there's an open wound): This will protect the wound from sticking to the bandage.
3. Cotton or Padding Wrap: Used for cushioning.
4. Self-Adhesive Bandage: Such as Value Plus Vet Wrap, to secure the bandage.
5. Elastic Adhesive Tape (optional): To reinforce and hold the bandage in place.

1. Clean the Area: If the hock has any wounds, start by cleaning the area with an antiseptic spray or cream.
2. Apply Non-Adherent Pad (If Needed):
For open wounds, place a non-stick pad directly on the injury to protect it from sticking to the bandage.
3. Wrap with Cotton Padding: Gently place cotton padding around the hock joint to provide a layer of cushioning. This is important for preventing the bandage from putting too much pressure on the joint and to allow for movement.
4. Apply Vet Wrap: Begin wrapping around the top of the hock, moving downward and then back up in a figure-eight pattern. This helps secure the bandage while allowing movement at the hock joint. Keep the tension consistent to avoid circulation issues.
5. Secure with Elastic Tape (Optional): For extra support, add a layer of adhesive tape at the top and bottom of the bandage. This helps keep everything in place, especially if the horse is active.
6. Check Tightness and Fit: Ensure the bandage is snug but not too tight. You should be able to slip a finger under the wrap easily.

Value Plus products like their vet wraps are stretchy, lightweight and easy to use, making them ideal for areas like the hock that need flexible support.
